Exodus 35:20

And all the congregation of the children of Israel
departed from the presence of Moses.
] After they had heard what Moses was ordered to propose unto them, they immediately went to their tents, and fetched what they had with them, or were willing to part with, and brought it directly as a freewill offering to the Lord; as ( Exodus 35:21 ) shows: from hence, Aben Ezra observes, we may learn, that the whole congregation of Israel came to the tabernacle, company after company.
